I am use to liquid foundation, can I still use mineral makeup?Arlene2015-11-09T13:38:01+00:00

Yes. Mineral makeup can be used wet or dry. If you are used to your liquid foundation and just can’t give it up, you can still use Affordable Mineral Makeup. Just add a few drops of water to the foundation in the lid of the sifter jar and mix until you have reached your desired consistency.

Definitely! Affordable mineral Makeup contains no dye so you don’t have to apply a base-coat. Simply use clear nail polish and dip the brush into the desired color and paint onto nails. For darker color, use more powder. You can also mix our pigments into color nail polishes to change its tint.

Once you’ve found your perfect shade. Here’s how to achieve your desired look.

Apply your mineral foundation with a good soft foundation brush. There are two ways to get the minerals on your brush:

Place the bristles of you brush against the holes in the top shaker jar and invert the jar, adding minerals to your brush. Revert the jar to it’s upright position and remove the brush from the holes, tap the brush against a hard surface to nestle the minerals within the brush head.

Or tap a small amount of minerals into the jars lid and swirl the brush into it, then tap the brush onto the hard surface to embed the minerals.

To apply the minerals:

Start at the hairline and swirl onto your face in downward motions over your cheekbones and towards the nose

Start with a little and use more as needed. A little goes a long way.

Blemishes are a snap: Using a concealer brush, apply a small amount of Concealer directly to the area and blend well.

A layer of Defense Mineral Primer under your foundation enhances and brightens your complexion while minimizing discoloration and redness. Applying Defense Mineral Primer under your foundation to helps absorb the oil. This versatile powder isn’t over-drying, and will help your foundation last through the day.

You can create your own tinted moisturizer by mixing a bit of mineral foundation powder with your favorite moisturizer to battle dry skin. It is best to not mix this in large batches. Just mix what you need for one application.
